I don't download software through Shareaza. I sometimes download PDF-files,
and I know they can be a safety problem. Considering all the risks that are
associated with P2P downloading, I have protected myself in every way
possible short of uninstalling or going offline. I would be very surprised
if there are viruses or spyware on my computer. No such thing as 100% sure
in this world, though.

This particular P2P-program was not the point, though. My point was that it
was impossible to kill on Vista. When it reaches this state of "not possible
to kill", any file operation on the entire partition hangs Explorer and
other apps. Its like the partition is locked. I done a diskcheck with no
errors.
